About this Owner’s Manual

This Owner’s Manual covers the DM2000 Digital Production Console.

All the information you need in order to operate the DM2000 Digital Production Console is contained in this manual. Use the table of contents to familiarize yourself with the manual’s organization and to locate tasks and topics, and use the index to locate speciﬁc information. Before diving in, it’s recommend that you read the “Operating Basics” chapter, starting on page 51.

Each chapter of this manual discusses a speciﬁc section or function of the DM2000. The Input and Output Channels are explained in the following chapters:“Input Channels,”“Bus Outs,”“Aux Sends,”“Matrix Sends,” and “Stereo Out.” Where possible, these chapters have been organized in order of signal ﬂow, from input through to output.

Functions such as EQ and Delay are common to all channels. Rather than repeat the same information over and over, these functions are explained once in the “Common Channel Functions” chapter, which starts on page 127. The “Input Channels,”“Bus Outs,”“Aux Sends,”“Matrix Sends,” and “Stereo Out” chapters contain cross-references to the relevant sections of the “Common Channel Functions” chapter.

Conventions Used in this Manual

The DM2000 features two types of button: physical buttons that you can press (e.g., ENTER and DISPLAY) and buttons that appear on the display pages. References to physical buttons are enclosed in square brackets, for example,“press the [ENTER] button.” References to display page buttons are not emphasized, for example, “press the ENTER button.”

Display pages can be selected by using the [DISPLAY] buttons or the Left Tab Scroll, Right Tab Scroll, and F1–4 buttons below the display. In order to simplify explanations, only the [DISPLAY] button method is mentioned in the procedures. See “Selecting Display Pages” on page 53 for details on all the ways in which pages can be selected.
